CHRISTMAS TREE COOKIES/ White Christmas

Decorated cookies can look more interesting in non-traditional colors. Instead of the usual green, I fashioned these cookies on a white tree. At Christmas my sister-in-law decorates two trees, a traditional fresh pine with colorful lights and ornaments, and the other a white angel tree. It makes the prettiest tree ever and looks so brilliant and stunning. She takes a fresh frazier fir and adorns it with white lights and silver and white ornaments. Most of the ornaments are angels. She was into angels before angels were cool. I should know; I’ve known her since I was 13 when she began dating my brother in high school. She has been a big sister and close friend ever since. In those early years she took me shopping, spent hours sharpening my routine for head majorette tryouts and we were each others maid of honor. She’s always been there no matter what and I’m proud to have her for my sister. After more than forty years she continues to shower our family with kindness and love.

Wow, these could be placed in bags and hung on a tree for guests!Making them white is a great idea - and you could use whatever color to match the decorations on the tree...silver, gold, red...hooray!Thanks Joan, they are really unique.

Joan....these are beautiful! There are many more colors to me that are reflective of the holidays than red and green. Silver and gold are two of those colors. I love these cookies. It reminds me of my desire to find one of those old vintage fake silver trees.....I LOVE those. And your cookies are inspiring me to think about that for next year! LOVE LOVE LOVE these! : )

Anne, ah, thank you. I like the shimmer of gold and silver too. Those vintage silver Christmas trees are out there...a good friend puts one up every year along with her vintage tree toppers. Thanks always for your support.

You're right about the non traditional colors. I think the silver trimmings look fabulous on these cookies. You know, they remind me of a wedding setting as well. I think from the shape it's easy to identity the cookies as Christmas trees so why not have a little fun with the baking and decorations.
